[QUOTE="Mep, post: 997451, member: 211362"] I think what she is explaining to you is that fat slows down carb absorption, it lowers the glycemic index of the carb you're eating. If you eat popcorn, by adding butter you are slowing down the absorption of a quick acting carb. That's why if you eat white crackers which are usually high GI, have cheese with it, etc. I was told this information by my dietician years back. It's a way of making carbs break down slower in your body, rather than spike your sugar levels quick... so keeping them more stable. [/QUOTE]
